Blue wave and mood

Here's an illustration inspired by a song I truly love: ‘Blue’ by Joni Mitchell. For this artwork, I've drawn inspiration from the first five lines of the song's lyrics (see the lyrics below):

Blue - Song by Joni Mitchell, inspiration for illustration by Kathrin Wilfong, ILLUSTRATIONARY.art

Blue

Songs are like tattoos

You know I’ve been to sea before

Crown and anchor me

Or let me sail away…

Hey Blue

And there is a song for you

Ink on a pin

Underneath the skin

An empty space to fill in

Well there’re so many sinking

Now you’ve got to keep thinking

You can make it thru these waves

Acid, booze, and ass

Needles, guns, and grass

Lots of laughs

Lots of laughs

Everybody’s saying that hell’s the hippest way to go well

I don’t think so, but I’m

Gonna take a look around it though Blue

I love you

Blue

Here is a shell for you

Inside you’ll hear a sigh

A foggy lullaby

There is your song from me
